MEDIAS

During the export process, movie files will be transcoded and their size adapted to maximize the performance depending on the selected projector’s resolution.

PROJECTORS

The device supports a single projector connected to the HDMI port.

The maximum supported resolution is 1080p (1920×1080).

In case the selected resolution is not supported by the actual connected projector, the device will use the projector’s default resolution and display a notification.

EXPORT TO MINIMAD

In MapMapper: Click Export to miniMAD in the File menu

Insert the provided SD-card in your computer using the bundled microSD card adapter. If necessary, update miniMAD as advised before exporting.

Then, select the projector you want to export to miniMAD, adjust the output resolution, the audio output, the playback options, optionnaly unselect and reorder your medias and highlight the default media to be played at startup.

Finally, click the “Export” button to start the export – FFmpeg Tools is required to export MadMapper project to miniMAD please download FFmpeg Tools Installer – The process may take some time depending on the number of movie files and their duration. MadMapper will avoid transcoding movie files that are already optimized on the SD-card.

NETWORK SYNCHRONIZATION

Connect the miniMADs on the same ethernet network to synchronize media-playback automatically*.

* movie synchronization happens when the movies playing on every miniMADs have the same frame count and framerate, even though their file names are different

* media change works properly if every miniMADs contain a file with the same name, even though its content is different

Create a MadMapper project using the video-wall template, import your pictures and videos, and export the different projectors to as many synchronized miniMADs. The setup couldn’t be easier: Just connect all your miniMAD with an ethernet cable to a network switch*, and wait until they automatically synchronize.

KEYBOARD

As an alternative to the miniMAD’s buttons, you can use any USB keyboard as a remote. Using a wireless USB keyboard may be particularly interesting when the device is not easily accessible. Attach the keyboard to one of the four USB ports prior to powering it on and follow the following keyboard map to control all functions:

Backspace: restart movie

Space: pause movie

Right: next movie

Left: previous movie

P: change playback mode

Up: increase image display-time

Down: decrease image display-time

A: change audio output

D: display info

H: help

Q: shutdown

M: Mapping control

Up/Down/Left/Right: adjust mapping

Tab: next control point

Enter: next surface / all surfaces

C: Cropping control

Up/Down/Left/Right: adjust cropping

Return: next control point

Tab: next surface

I: Image control

Up/Down: adjust brightness

Left/Right: adjust contrast

Enter: next surface / all surfaces

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0: direct access to the 10 first medias

NETWORK SYNCHRONIZATION

When connected to a network, all the miniMADs share the same media controls (media change, pause, restart, playback mode, audio mode, image display time) which means that every change that’s made on any miniMAD is instantly reflected on all of them.

Secure your miniMAD power-plug from being disconnected or damaged with the PLOCK – Power Supply Lock. You can download the 3D file to print it yourself (Creative Commons Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike).
